Removed several unnecessary RFIFOP typecasts

- While this is arguable, those explicit typecasts are potentially
  dangerous/misleading (for example, a const specifier might get
  accidentally dropped without even generating a compiler warning, or a
  variable type might change during code changes, and any related
  warning would get silenced by the explicit typecast).
- As a reminder Hercules is written in C, and not in C++ (and there's
  no such thing as "compiling in C++ mode" - they're two different
  languages.) As such, it is legal to let the compiler automatically
  promote void* from/to any non-const pointer type, as well as const
  void* from/to any const pointer type.
